The purpose of this project is to help you better to understand who were the Molly Maguires, what did they do, and who they were associated with. The Molly Maguires were members of a secret Irish organization. Many historians believe the "Mollies" were present in the coal fields of Penn. in the U.S from approximately the time of the American Civil War until a series of sensational arrests and trials in the years 1876−1878. Evidence that the Molly Maguires were responsible for coalfield crimes and kidnapping in the U.S. rests largely upon allegations of one powerful industrialist, and the testimony of one detectives. Fellow prisoners also testified against the alleged Molly Maguires, but some believe these witnesses may have been coerced or bribed.

In 1804 a french patent was granted to Thomas Stone and James Henderson. The sewing machine emulated hand sewing.
In 1818, the first American sewing machine was invented by John Adams Doge and John Knowles. The machine failed to sew any fabric before malfunctioning.
In 1830 the first sewing machine was invented by the French tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier. Thimonnier's machine used only one thread and a hooked needle that made chain stitch used with embroidery.
